NOPE Meetings

Our virtual meetings are our signature events. Lively and well-run, they provide political insight and first-hand information about battleground states, candidates, grassroots organizing, strategic giving and volunteering. Attendees are given an opportunity to donate directly to featured candidates and groups.

 Next Meeting: Election Recap and Look Ahead

Join us on Wednesday, November 12 to debrief this year’s election. We’ll share what we know and what we can predict for the coming midterms.

We’ll look to the future with Lauren Groh-Wargo, CEO of Fair Fight Action. As CEO and co-founder of Fair Fight Action, Gorh-Wargo helped build the infrastructure that turned Georgia into a national battleground and secured two Democratic U.S. Senate victories in 2021. Her insight into this political moment, combined with her understanding of the way the Republican Party is attacking voting rights, have made her a power to be reckoned with. Read more here.

We will also introduce you to our new slate of grassroots organizing groups. Since 2019 we have recommended support for grassroots allies who excel at engaging communities and turning out voters to win elections. Our new slate is based on extensive research and analysis and will form an integral part of our strategy for winning the 2026 midterms in battleground states.

Register today and share this with a friend! Winning elections is our best way to stop Trump and MAGA.
